Daydreamcast

The realm of Nosgoth has been invaded by the dark forces of the Daydreamcast! Bro couldn't make it (of course I know him, he is me) but Murph and Calvin team up to discuss E3's legacy, the new shows that have filled in to replace it, and then they follow up by talking about Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. A game with a unique tie to E3 and a very curious developer background, nothing is a more...

We go deep sea diving in this new episode of the Daydreamcast! Teaming up with Youtube star AesirAesthetics , Murph and Bro tackle all sorts of topics like game development, Spiritfarer,Pac-man, and our game of the week: Bioshock 2! Is a man not entitled to the sweat of this podcast? And sweat we do, Bioshock 2 is a special title that both refines the gameplay and makes a more personal story out o...

Kaiju and content creators clash! The only podcast that's a complete knockout! Our normal hosts (Bro and Murph) take their corners and Stephen joins the fray! Stephen is our kaiju expert, ranking monsters with his buddy Calvin on another cast. We talk about a collection of indie games, such as Spelunky 2 , Norco , Citizen Sleeper , Say No! More , and Spellcaster University . Murph goes into hi...

Well dear listeners, we've decided to settle things down and go a little more relaxed and quiet this episode. Murph and Bro discuss some indie games they've played, Murph particularly discusses The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe, and then he explores the first entry in his new retrospective: Yakuza . While less crazy and refined than its successors, it still delivers a solid foundation for a...

Gotta Catch 'em All! Only, we aren't catching them all. Instead, we're rescuing some after like fifty flights of stairs. Join Bro, Murph, and David from the Twin Geeks show as we dissect the rogue-like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: DX. Before that, we talk about the new Kirby game, and whether it sucks or blows. Then, we put a cap on Resident Evi...

Talk about a sticky situation! This episode of the Daydreamcast Bro and Murph explore the icky sticky ooey gooey wiiware title World of Goo! We also talk about Resident Evil 3's remake, Elden Ring (again), and we analyze how goo functions in video games. Gooigi will reveal the truthigi. Murph then gushes about World of Goo's 10/10 aesthetic and mechanics. This goo structure builder and phy...

We seem to have a crisis of dinosaurs! Journey with us as we basically talk about three things: Elden Ring, dinosaur games, and Dino Crisis. Elden Ring takes about half the podcast and if you still stuck around for the rest of the cast, thank you. You're very loyal and we love you. Dino Crisis is an action oriented dinosaur version of Resident Evil, also directed by Shinji Mikami. In this cast...

The Daydreamcast is seeing double with a two-feature show! In this episode Bro and Murph anticipate Elden Ring's impending release, talk about AER, Grand-Theft Auto San Andreas, and Hero's Hour! Murph has played some obscure indies and Bro played an old game. What a shock! After, we try to escape the top-secret Black Mesa facility as Gordon Freeman. Has the game aged well enough? Can we fo...

The Daydreamcast makes a triumphant return after a hiatus! Pavlos has had to retire from co-hosting duties due to a busy schedule, but Murph has filled in as the permanent co-host. Bro and Murph start by talking about Sekiro, then Bro shares his experiences with Death's Door, while Murph complains about the Resident Evil 2 remake! Then we try out a new segment where we explore gaming oddities,...

David brings Pavlos and Bro back from the brink of extinction to talk about the things that matter most: Metroid and monkey balls. David tells us the virtues of playing the original Super Monkey Ball in a game bar. He packages this with his own pro gamer strats and insights into the world of speed-eating-while-taking-turns-playing-video-games. It's a niche sport, but it'll catch on. We tal...

Summer vacation is over and your favourite podcast returns with a nice sun tan to discuss all manners of video gaming! Joined by our friend Stephen from sister podcast Ranking the Monsters we tackle most, hell, every new release you could possibly care about, from Psychonauts 2 to WarioWare: Get It Together! , from (urgh) Twelve Minutes to that Skyward Sword re-release, from yet another Pokémon sp...

After a long sabbatical, we are back to tee off with a new edition of the most leisurely gaming podcast around. We tackle everything exciting that happened at the Electronic Three (who are more the Electronic Six or Seven at this point) and hit you with all the talk you never knew you wanted on the off-beat rhythm game Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe and a remaster of what could be considered the fo...

We got a murder mystery on our hands at the Daydreamcast this week! But first, some familiar topics: We return to one of the earliest subjects of the show, tackling the recent Overwatch 2 announcements. Brogan continues to wade through the King's Field (s). Pavlos follows in the footsteps of a recent guest, however, with a differing conclusion on whether it is, in fact, time to d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d...

On this very late '00s edition of the Daydreamcast, our friend Murph returns to talk to us about the world of video games. We get a status update on his Assassin's Creed playthrough which, thankfully, is in its twilight years. We revisit the contentious and topical subject of roguelikes/-lites with more Hades talk, and even get some Yu-Gi-Oh discussion in. If that's not enough 2000s en...

The prodigal co-host returns, and with him a whole slew of relatively questionable video games! After we're done covering the topics everyone has been talking about – some Crash Bandicoot runner, a sleazy '90s FMV game, and Tekken 6 's cooperative campaign –, we turn our attention to less trodden paths. That's right, we break new ground with revolutionary talk on From Software as w...

After Brogan's resurrection, Pavlos was put on ice for whenever the world may need him again. This episode consists of Brogan and guest star David Punch picking up the pieces of the podcast. That's right: it's the second bananas on their own podcast! David has been reliving early internet meme culture with a nuzlocke run of Pokémon Platinum. Remember Lost ? Wow. Brogan has been playing...

Everyone's favourite Alabama man returns for this brand-new episode of the Daydreamcast! We catch up with what Brogan managed to play before nature cut off his power, including the hefty narrative experience Disco Elysium and the disappointingly slight Resident Evil 3 remake. Pavlos postpones Mario talk for another week to discuss his time with the stylish if a little lacking Annapurna visual...

We welcome you back to the Brogan Memorial Podcast, the video game podcast made in tribute to former co-host Brogan before they took away his power, presumably to stop him from podcasting specifically.. we're just kidding, we're just kidding! Pavlos finds himself in a Zoom call with Calvin and David, both returning guests and, more importantly, not wearing any clothes while we recorded the...

The Daydreamcast spin jumps back into the action, and it's all about the devil in the details this week. We touch on throwback games, particularly action side-scrollers, old and new, and decide they are only critisable in the nitty-gritty, in the quality of the tried-and-tested individual components. While Pavlos is too busy recounting his time working for The Man, Brogan serves up fresh-from-...

It's a jumbo-sized kick-off to the new year, and to the second season of your favourite video game podcast, with topics aplenty! Our usual cross-generational grab bag this time includes 2009's Brütal Legend , an action-adventure that's actually an RTS, and no one's favourite Bond game, From Russia With Love , a shooter that's actually a horror game as it turns out! Pavlos share...

As the end of the year draws near, the Daydreamcast assembles one last time for an unusual season one finale. Joined by friend of the show Calvin, and true to our style, we sit down to scientifically determine the best game of the year 1985. In this longest show, yet, you get to hear the entire process, raw and uncut. We consider almost 40 games released in the year that marked the launch of the N...

We wax philosophical at the Daydreamcast this week, touching on the state of modern game design, the trend of serialisation, the practice of modding, what really constitutes a video game, the ethics of stealing eggs out of monster brothels, and the severely phallic nature of Tetris – that's right, all the questions that have been keeping you up at night. Brogan gets caught playing a Star Wars...

The Daydreamcast is looking to score this week, and we got a guest to help us succeed! Our friend Murph joins us to discuss everything we usually don't (like Assassin's Creed ) and everything we usually do (like Kingdom Hearts and Pikmin ). Meanwhile, Brogan clamours for the return of pet games as we reminisce about Nintendogs and lament what has come to replace them, as the animals gave w...

Happy Halloween from your friends at the Daydreamcast! Timely as ever, despite our one week break, we indulge in seasonal musings as we explore the philosophy of modern horror games, the horrors of being a completionist, as well as the most horrific creature known to man: the Pac-Man reimagining from Pac-Man & his Ghostly Adventures. We refuse to move on, however, before tackling the real reas...

The Daydreamcast is buggin'! The anime has taken over the show, leaving Brogan beyond salvation, as we talk about the gacha craze that has swept the nation (and its name is Genshin Impact ) and Kingdom Hearts , of all things. Meanwhile, Pavlos finally delivers his thoughts on the Meiji era Ace Attorney spin-off which never made it out of Japan. Thankfully, we have the palate cleansers at the r...
